On the undercard of Estrada’s comeback event, 17-year-old Camila Zamorano will face 41-year-old Mika Iwakawa in a bout for the WBC Interim Women’s World Atomweight Title.

Former two-division world champion and current WBC No. 2 and WBO No. 3 bantamweight contender, Juan Francisco Estrada (Mexico) — 44 wins (28 KOs), 4 losses — is officially set to face Karim Arce (Mexico) — 21 wins (8 KOs), 2 losses, 2 draws — the nephew of former five-division world champion Jorge Arce, on June 14 (June 15 Japan time) in Hermosillo, Mexico.

For the 35-year-old Estrada, this will be his first fight in about a year since he lost his WBC super flyweight title by a 7th-round KO to Jesse Rodriguez (USA, Teiken), who remains undefeated at 21–0 (14 KOs), in June last year. It will also mark his debut in the bantamweight division. To make a strong case for a future challenge against one of the Japanese fighters who currently hold all the world bantamweight titles, a convincing and dominant win is essential.

Also drawing attention on the same card is the WBC Interim Women’s World Atomweight Title bout featuring 8th-ranked Camila Zamorano (Mexico), who holds an undefeated record of 11 wins (1 KO).

Camila Zamorano vs Mika Iwakawa

It has been announced that Camila Zamorano will face former IBF and WBO world champion, and current No. 4 ranked contender Mika Iwakawa (Himeji Kinoshita) — with a record of 13 wins (4 KOs), 7 losses, and 1 draw — for the WBC Interim Women’s World Atomweight Title.

Zamorano, a 17-year-old from Hermosillo, will go up against the 41-year-old Iwakawa, who brings 14 years of experience to the ring. Since her debut in April 2023, Zamorano has remained unbeaten and captured the WBC International title in the same division last October.

Trained by her father, Eleazar, from a young age, if Zamorano wins, she will become a world champion (albeit interim) at 17 years, 5 months, and 16 days — surpassing the record of Wilfred Benítez (Puerto Rico), who became champion at 17 years and 6 months. As a charming and immensely popular local star, Zamorano’s world title bout is drawing significant attention.

All eyes are on Mika Iwakawa as she aims to capture the belt overseas!
